I have an usb printer plugged in but I have no /dev/usb/lp0
I turn off the printer, then turn it on and no /dev/usb/lp0 is created.
Is it udev not working?
Is that udev is not detecting the printer?
Is there any log to see it?
What is happening?
I can create /dev/usb/lp0 by the terminal command:
sudo mknod /dev/usb/lp0 c 180 0
But it dissapear at reboot. And in the /dev/usb/ directory only appears:
hiddev0 hiddev1
Can I make udev create /dev/usb/lp0 for my printer in a way it persists at reboot?
Is there a way to communicate with the printer by knowing vendorID and productID or knowing other data?
Is this an udev issue or a kernel module issue or what?
I can not use my printer and I don't even know if my system is detecting it.
I am completely lost.
Any idea will be very appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
